DHT22 Humidity & Temperature Sensor with Blue Pill using STM32CubeIDE

Prerequisites

This project assumes you have already installed STM32CubeIDE. You need to have previously done a basic blink sketch with blue-pill using STM32CubeIDE. I have made a complete video from installing STM32CubeIDE to LED blink program. You can watch it by clicking this link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXg467nVd_A

Datasheet

Wiring Diagram

STM32CubeIDE Settings

Click RCC → High Speed Clock (HSE) to Crystal/Ceramic Resonator

Click Clock Configuration tab → HCLK (MHz) to 72

Click Pinout and Configuration tab

Click Timer → Click TIM1 →

Clock Source set to Internal Clock

Configuration → Parameter Settings →

Prescaler set to 71

Set PB9 GPIO_Output
